Excitement and Eagerness Had Him Rubbing His Hands

Inside the main hall of the Divine Temple, White-Clad Woman walked gracefully in and said, "Do you think I would suppress you with a higher cultivation level?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming was filled with confidence and almost rubbed his hands together, because he couldn't wait and was eager to fight on the same level as Grandmaster Level figure!

However, he also had some doubts about her background, because the White-Clad Woman had a youthful mindset.

"Senior, if I am fortunate enough to win, I want the Five-Colored Bottle and the complete scriptures on the walls of the main hall," Qin Ming said.

"You still don't trust me?" the White-Clad Woman, somewhat displeased.

Her face was veiled by her dark hair, and she wore a simple white dress. Her waist was slender, her figure tall, and her legs were shapely and long. She gracefully approached.

Qin Ming chuckled awkwardly, "It's better to clarify some things beforehand."

He changed the subject, asking, "Senior, which method do you plan to use in this sparring session?"

"I'm the kind of person who gets stronger when facing stronger opponents, and even stronger when facing weaker ones. I'm only at the First Realm, so I'll use the methods of your New Life Path and exchange ideas with you in your area of expertise," the White-Clad Woman said with a smile.

Although her words were gentle, Qin Ming could sense that she possessed a pride that came from the bottom of her bones. Though she called it an exchange, she wanted to defeat him in his strongest area.

Then, he couldn't help but rub his hands together a couple of times.

The White-Clad Woman immediately turned her head to look at her and said, "You're very excited and thrilled?!"

This time, her voice was slightly higher, still pleasant to the ear, but she was probably glancing at him sideways.

"No, I'm just nervous and scared. My palms get slightly sweaty at times like this, and I have to wipe them off quickly," Qin Ming replied.

"Alright, let's fight. Just don't break a sweat," the White-Clad Woman said gently, reaching to brush her hair back from her forehead, but then stopped.

"Are you ready?" she asked with a smile, her snow-white dress billowing as if woven from Moon Essence Light Harmony.

As she moved her lotus-like steps again, a hazy light emanated from her body, and white mist rose from beneath her jade feet, making her appear ethereal and otherworldly.

Qin Ming, dressed in coarse linen, with black hair falling past his shoulders and bright eyes, looked ahead and politely extended his hand, saying, "Please!" Boom!

The entire main hall seemed to tremble. The White-Clad Woman, who had been ethereal and otherworldly just moments before, now moved like a rainbow piercing the sun, emitting a blinding light, and struck with the force of thunder.

Qin Ming's expression was solemn. He saw many changes in his opponent. With a simple palm strike, he used the Withered Wood Force as a guide, accompanied by the Earth Fire Force. The two Heavenly Light Force could collide at any moment, thus "exploding".

Furthermore, hidden behind is a follow-up killing move of the Withered Wood Force, which can trigger changes in Yin and Yang. Further on, there may be Five-Colored Thunder Force following up, adding even more variables.

He admitted that the White-Clad Woman was indeed highly skilled on the New Life Path; a casual strike from her snow-white palm contained the true meaning of two or three Extraordinary Art.

Qin Ming's fist was wreathed in Li Fire Force, with real flames flickering within it. He slammed it forward, preemptively detonating the Withered Wood Force for her.

Inside the main hall, an astonishing burst of Heavenly Light erupted, causing the clothes of the two to flutter wildly. Their fists and palms collided, creating a dazzling interplay and explosion of Thunderfire. Sure enough, Qin Ming was right; the Earth Fire Force surging in her palms further fueled the fire Mortal World, accompanied by a violent explosion.

If any other Seventh New Life were here, they would likely have been burned through and torn apart by the Heavenly Light Force. The two moved rapidly, like two streaks of fire colliding and then separating, engaging in several fierce confrontations.

She was indeed proficient in the Wither Bloom Scripture, changing the Withered Wood Force to interpret the changes of yin and yang, and with the Five-Colored Thunder Force of her other hand, she launched a powerful attack right from the start.

In this New Life Realm, with such top-notch methods and terrifying combat awareness, even the Core Disciple of the top sects from various paths would be quickly defeated and unable to keep up with this change.

However, Qin Ming blocked it.

He cleverly broke the spell, circulating the River Luo Scripture, causing a thick fog to surge and water vapor to rise, drawing in the Five-Colored Thunder Force, followed by a violent and turbulent Wind Force.

He broke through the opponent's lightning attack.

Then, Qin Ming used sheer force to overcome all techniques, combining his skills with the Silk Book Method. He clenched his right fist as if grasping a Golden Crow, and unleashed it, directly clashing with the opponent's Yin-Yang transformation.

After the White-Clad Woman triggered the Yin-Yang transformation, Black and White energy swirled around her, and then she radiated tricolor light, resembling the "two begets three" and "myriad transformations" principle in a certain Daoist tradition.

However, Qin Ming, energized by the Heavenly Light Force, clashed head-on with her, unleashing several of her Extraordinary Art. After landing a punch, he relentlessly pressed forward.

In an instant, the woman's fair hands came together, clamping Qin Ming's fist, intending to twist it off.

At this moment, many fine characters actually crawled onto her two hands. Qin Ming had never seen such Extraordinary Art before, and he immediately unleashed an extremely terrifying power.

The White-Clad Woman clasped her hands together, as if heaven and earth were about to unite. This was undoubtedly a top-tier Extraordinary Art. The fine shimmering light that emanated from the Heavenly Light Force even carried characters resembling Dragon-Phoenix Seal Script.

However, she Exerted Effort her hands twice in an instant, but they didn't break. Meanwhile, Qin Ming's other hand burst into light and struck her forehead.

At this moment, he saw no seniors, only rivals; there was no question of respect or rudeness.

The White-Clad Woman moved swiftly to the side, like a ghost shattering the night sea, vanishing without a trace. It was a strange movement, as if she were teleporting, avoiding the opponent's palm.

Qin Ming followed up, combining the River Luo Force with the Thunder Fire Force. In the thick mist, a bolt of lightning struck down, indiscriminately attacking her afterimage.

At the same time, his feet trembled, and he activated the Wuji, initially drawing upon the Earth Essence. With a loud boom, the ground shook violently, and taking advantage of her slightly delayed steps, he approached her.

Qin Ming activated the Wuji Qi, seemingly becoming one with the earth. The surrounding yellow earth energy surged, and he unleashed a series of powerful punches forward with his left fist and right palm.

At the same time, Li Fire surged and mixed into the earth's energy.

Two figures moved swiftly, like two birds chasing and entangled, their fists and palms striking each other. Their hempen clothes fluttered, their white skirts danced, their long legs swayed, and their black hair swayed.

When the local air and the Li Fire had blended sufficiently, the ground beneath Qin Ming's feet turned slightly red.

Immediately, he unleashed his Thunder Fire Force, striking down from above and also triggering the Purple Mansion Thunder Fire Force! This was a combination of various Extraordinary Art and techniques, ultimately resulting in: Heavenly Thunder Induces Earth Fire.

Back then, even the single techniques of Earth Fire and Heavenly Thunder were terrifying to cultivate. Now, with so many Cultivation Method working together, their power is naturally even greater and incredibly astonishing.

This was a sudden performance by Qin Ming on the eve of battle, and the effect was surprisingly good. He could clearly feel the woman's lithe body tense up when they were face to face; this was the first time she had shown any nervousness. Moreover, he was certain that at this stage of the Seventh New Life, her speed was impossible to dodge unless she cheated.

Rumble!

Li Fire the ground, while lightning descends from above; their natural affinity and mutual attraction create a truly spectacular scene.

The White-Clad Woman moved with incredible speed, her every step a fleeting illusion, as if she were traversing time and space.

However, she was still no match for the Heavenly Thunder Induces Earth Fire, and caught in the middle, she was struck by a barrage of electric shocks, causing her undulating body to stiffen slightly.

Seeing this, Qin Ming naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity. He rushed forward, unleashing his Thunder Fire Force to "add fuel to the fire."

The White-Clad Woman gritted her teeth, almost breaking the rules, but she was also proud, and seeing the other person's gaze, she ultimately held back.

Click, click!

She didn't simply withstand the lightning head-on; instead, she circulated mysterious scriptures, as if Sky Severing Line, severing part of the Earth Fire and shearing off some of the Heavenly Thunder.

Even so, she still endured a Thunderfire, her body crackling with electricity. Although this was nothing for someone of her cultivation level, to acknowledge that she was at the level of the Seventh New Life, she had to be authentic and not "overstep the boundaries."

Seeing this, Qin Ming's fists and palms left many afterimages as he fought with excitement and fervor, unleashing his most ferocious punches and kicks upon this "Ancestor."

This was his first time facing off against someone like this, and he felt a real sense of accomplishment. Now, the two were going head-to-head.

Because the White-Clad Woman was unable to teleport away after being struck by electricity, she was enveloped by his fists and palm shadows, and was forced to fight back.

Their legs were also moving, sweeping towards each other from time to time. In an instant, a white dress would flutter, and a long leg would kick out, producing a terrifying blast of air.

Finally, the woman managed to break free from him and retreated swiftly, befitting her seventh New Life; her hands were trembling and spasming slightly.

This situation made her very unhappy; she had actually been "abused" by someone.

Strictly speaking, she was only at a disadvantage for a moment just now; it couldn't be described as her being miserably abused.

At this moment, her snow-white dress was torn, and the two wide sleeves were pierced by the Thunderfire, turning into ashes, revealing her snow-white and delicate arms, which shone with a luster like mutton fat jade.

Qin Ming felt that this kind of fight was really exhilarating. He was verifying some ideas, and the various Heavenly Light Force were cleverly combined, making for a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

At the same time, he realized that the other party was very open-minded and did not use a high level of cultivation to suppress him. Even their clothes were ordinary silk fabrics, not precious armor.

"You cheated." The White-Clad Woman looked at him.

Even though she wasn't someone who took the New Life Path, her perspective, experience, and skills were all there, yet she was somewhat embarrassed, which was beyond her expectations.

She felt that the other party's foundation was unrealistically strong, far exceeding expectations. Could someone Seventh New Life reach this level? If she hadn't used skillful and ingenious techniques to defuse the situation, her predicament would certainly be worse than it is now.

"No." Qin Ming faced the question frankly, shaking his head and saying, "Senior hasn't been defeated yet, so aren't you very strong?"

Upon hearing this, the White-Clad Woman clenched her snow-white fists, meaning that if he cheated, she had also exceeded the limits. In fact, she had indeed crossed the line, because some Extraordinary Art and special scriptures could not be learned, or rather, could not be fully learned, during the New Life stage.

She used some secret techniques, which enabled her to remain invincible.

The White-Clad Woman looked at herself and realized she was in a truly sorry state. Her sleeves were burned, and most of her snow-white arms were exposed. It had certainly been a terrible experience.

She instinctively reached to brush aside the dark hair that was obscuring her face, but after brushing it halfway, she remembered something and immediately put it down. In an instant, Qin Ming saw a stunningly beautiful profile, fair and radiant, captivating his gaze and making him unwilling to look away.

This confirms that she is not a "vengeful ghost" with supernatural attributes.

"Senior, your skill is unparalleled, and your demeanor is peerless!" Qin Ming praised and flattered, mainly because he was afraid that such a sparring match would offend her. As a result, the White-Clad Woman's face immediately darkened slightly; being praised after suffering a loss was not a pleasant feeling!

"Let's go again, I'm going to get serious!" she said, clearly extremely proud and confident, even though this wasn't her path and she was still bothered by being at a disadvantage.

She strode forward, bathed in the bright moonlight. Her tattered yet snow-white dress flowed like clouds, swaying gracefully, ethereal and otherworldly. Yet, within her flowed an astonishing Heavenly Light Force, ready to erupt.

Qin Ming couldn't resist rubbing his hands together again, even more excited, eager to have a good fight today!

The White-Clad Woman's expression froze slightly. What was wrong with this kid? He became even more excited upon hearing that he wanted to take their duel to the next level!

She had watched the fight earlier and noticed that he wasn't this agitated when he fought the Old Woman. Moreover, she already knew about the feud between him and the Old Woman.

The White-Clad Woman clenched her fists, finding the boy utterly despicable. His attitude towards her was outrageous! "Senior, are you ready?" Qin Ming asked, preparing to unleash his full power!

(There's more to come!)
